Orino's are doing great since the water change, added 4 ocellaris 2 days ago, all are doing great. Picking up a 125 next wednesday, due to a budget.

water parameters are Ph 6.6, nitrites 0 ppm. Standard PH kit, all water is R/O with deionised water filtration kit costing about 44.99 for all newbies. Do not use tap water, temp at 86-88. Was told to watch for water to turn acidic now. Due for a change this weekend, I can see the waste from the amount od feeder guppies these guys are eaten.
 
lol they are looking sweet.. try to get them on shrimp soon...are the ocellaris wild? from the same place? my guys are looking a little skinny... im trying to get them on pellets but only one of my peru boys eatting them. i might have to give up for a little while soon :(
 
I got them from monster pets in philly. Not sure if there wild or not, I'll tell you one thing though, I've never seen p's with such pointed faces. I'm going to keep them on the feeders until there at least 5-6".
 
That school is looking good. I would at least see what they do with fd krill, frozen krill or shrimp.
 
nice... maybe some florida ocellaris or some sp. gyuana :) lol pointy faces
 
the orino's and ocellaris are eating up a storm now, their bellies are always fat. Orino's have gotten some size to them already in 2 weeks, probably pushing the 4" mark. All feeder guppies for now, when they hit 6" I'll start the process of getting them off feeders.
